I have always hated the rain. Especially when it bears a violent storm as a companion.

But here I am nonetheless, under the violent downpour, right in front of an eyesore of a motel where I just slept with my class teacher. And I am without a doubt not proud of my actions. Because I have a boyfriend. And I am supposed to be faithful to him. But life always got a way of pushing me to the edge of a cliff with barely half a choice.

Lucas Meadow, my Philosophy teacher, has always had his greedy eyes on younger girls, like the pretty girls in his class. I always knew I was no exception after all the countless sexual passes at me. But I have been so sure I would never let his finger touch me, well until he gave me an offer I couldn't turn my golden eyes away from.

He offered me something palatable; to help me graduate even with my poor grades. And I always knew on my own, I wouldn't make it past the threshold of Northridge High with my mates in the next few months. I was going to have to repeat the senior class.

But not graduating with the others meant I wouldn't be able to go to college with him; Romeo Sheridan, the boy I hope I could have loved with all of me.

How abhorrent that he cares about me so much yet I always manage to hurt him the most? And it's, even more, flabbergasting how I will shamelessly justify my actions by tying it to something—perhaps I saw him laughing with another girl from the cheer team and thought he was cheating, or maybe I saw a text from a random girl asking him to hang out and felt betrayed.

And today? I know exactly what the excuse is going to be even though that can't be justifying enough. Because there were open options; I could have just taken extra classes, gotten serious with my studies, and increased my grades for a better chance next year.

But I have no patience for those. I am sure my brain was made to not grasp a few things in class. And I am sure no matter what I did, I wouldn't be able to graduate the next year or even a year after that. So I resorted to giving my body to the perverted teacher who told me he had a way to make me graduate with others. He said he would manipulate my scores, and write me a recommendation letter to the prestigious university Romeo got accepted into. Oh, he promised to make me a valedictorian.

And I slept with him without thinking how much it would hurt Romeo. I just wanted to be beside him every step he took. I just couldn't imagine living without him.

Now Lucas has taken what he has always wanted, and he has ushered me out into the pouring rain, not realizing that I can't stand it; being alone under the rain, especially midnight ones that are as stormy as this.

The vengeful clasps of the rumbling thunder echoing from the hills make me cower in fear. The flashes of lightning augmenting the dark sky remind me of something from a horror flick.

And being alone makes this much worse.

But just when I am about to start crying like the night I could never seem to forget, I find him before me, my nirvana, the sunshine to my midnight rain, in the shape of a boy six feet tall, kind eyes like an ancient jewel enwrought in snow.

His yellow umbrella hovers over my head and his headphones slip into my ears to block out the thunderous sounds. And then his broad shoulders shield my eyes from the flashes of lightning.

He doesn't scold me as he should. He doesn't show anger, even though he should. He has been faithful to me but I have never been to him. He doesn't let his hurt display in those brilliant orbs of his. Instead, he pulls me into his strong arms, burying my face into his warm chest.

"You didn't have to do it," he says to me, my shivering frame held tightly against his warm body, "I told you that I'll never leave you behind."

"How did you find me?" My strained voice is muffled against his chest.

"I will always find you, Addie." He whispers into my hair, "No matter how dark the path, I will always find my way to you."

  • The Devil's Daughter    Chapter 22

    "Good morning, ma'am!" A young man in a fine suit rushes to me at terminal 1 of the arrival hall and my face immediately hardens, a defensive pose striking on reflex. I just came down from a long flight and my muscles are sore and for some reason, I just want to sleep. The last thing I want is to engage in a tag race with an airport thief."Um, good morning." I am a little hesitant because he's an unfamiliar face even though almost everybody I have passed by at my arrival looked exactly like him."I'm Ling Chen, your sorta PA and designated driver for as long as you are here." He introduces himself in his thick accent, adjusting the round glasses on the bridge of his nose."On my way out, I overheard some people talking about a fraudster that lurks around the exit," I say, holding my handbag tighter to my body, "They lie about being a designated driver only to take the passenger somewhere remote and rob them of their properties."His eyes widen in horror at my accusation before settl

    "Final boarding announcement for Air Atlantis, flight 210A to France. All passengers head to gate 2!" The feminine voice bounces off the four walls of the private lounge, and the woman who has been struggling with transferring some handy things from the suitcase into her handbag finally exits.As for me, I am busy pacing around the spacious room, worrying for no reason whatsoever about why I haven't boarded yet, forgetting that it works according to the time on my boarding pass.I just want to be on my way to China already, away from my current problems. A little part of me wouldn't have even minded much if there was no other solution after I obviously missed my 10:00 AM flight. But after that rough, anger-driven sex which might I add, went on for hours without as little as five minutes break, I was having a hot bath to numb my soreness when Martins called to inform Romeo that he has managed to squeeze me yet again, in another flight that is taking off by 8:00 PM tonight.I have neve

    Another tear glides down my left cheek and I sniffle again, watching Romeo allow another woman to touch him while he still has me chained to the bed. My whimpers reach his ears and his eyes that remain on me as the girl has his cock buried in her pussy, soften but only for a second as his jaws tic and his eyes harden again.It's as if there's a battle within him. He will find himself needing to stop as this is obviously breaking me but then he will remember the atrocity I committed with his brother and his anger will spike up again.He is fighting it and I know it. Romeo could never bear to see me cry. So this must be hurting him as much as it is hurting me to see another woman touch him."You have proven your point, Romeo," my throat is patched even though I don't cry out loud, "Just stop."He doesn't heed my plea, and as if he enjoys this pathetic and miserable me, he grabs her ass and positions his cock inside her again, and an echo of colliding bodies is heard every time she come

    I have done a lot of wicked things in this life, some I feel bad for doing, and some I just don't care for remorse. But none of this wicked act of mine surpasses waking up on a strange bed and finding out I just slept with Romeo's half-brother. I don't know how it happened. I just woke up thinking how unfamiliar the bed and the room were and I cracked my eyes open and my nemesis, Harry Sheridan, the man I hate the most in Romeo's family after his stupid father, was sitting across from the room, a wicked smirk on as he watched me.I shuffle away when he stands up from the couch he has been lounging on and comes and plops his ass on the bed, twisting his body to face me."What did you do?" I sneer, and if looks could kill, he will be sizzling to ashes right now.He releases a sinister chuckle, tilting his head backward, and when his cold green eyes come back to connect with mine, my whole body is covered up in goosebumps. "What did I do?" His eyes are sinister, his tongue curled inwar

    "Here's your order, ma'am." a feminine voice announces before a cup of latte macchiato appears in my line vision.I lift my face from my phone."Thanks." flashing the teenage girl a small smile, I snatch the styrofoam cup from her."What flavor is that?" The person I'm speaking with over a video call asks. His name is Alan and he resides in China. We met through my Instagram when I started posting about my upcoming fashion line some weeks ago. He happens to be a fashion designer and he has been pretty helpful with tips ever since."Latte macchiato," I say after gulping down the first delicious sip, "Although, I would have preferred my precious carajillo over this. But my doctor is against it.""Your doctor?" He queries, his hand digging into the bag of chips set on his lap, "Are you sick or something?""Yeah," I roll my eyes, "I was diagnosed with a heart defect about some months ago." I leave out the needing a transplant part because I have no strength for that right now. "Really?"

    "Look, the price you are calling is way above my budget," I say, struggling with the phone held between my ear and shoulder while digging around my bag for my car key."Shun the price and focus on how great of a deal it is," the real estate agent argues, "I mean if you get it now, your lease won't expire until three years.""That huge amount of money for just one floor?" I unlock the car after finding the key, then throw my bag into the backseat, "if I spend this much for getting a space, what will I use to do other things?"Why exactly did I think it's easy to get myself a building to set up my fashion line? I haven't even gotten materials and tools. Just to get a building and my money is close to being exhausted? Honestly, I'm seriously considering turning my living room into my office for the meantime until I'm so wealthy I would be able to afford an actual building."There are four large rooms and four toilets for ladies and gents," he says while I try placing the phone on the d
